Vintage Glamour Inspiration At Kilruddery Estate

We're nearing the end of our Fortnight of Vintage Inspiration, so it's lovely to end on a real high. This gorgeous vintage-inspired engagement session for Deirdre and John was shot in the grounds of Killruddery House in Co. Wicklow.

The inspiration came from Atonement (that green dress - sigh...) and as you can see I think the super team (Aisling from Rangoli jewellery, Aoife & Deirdre of the Bridal Lounge) who styled this shoot did an absolutely amazing job. The results were beautifully captured by the fantastic eye of Stephanie Fay (who was just over on her holliers from Arizona).

I love this vintage picnic, Killruddery Estate is just the perfect location for it. Unfortunately it's not available for actual weddings, but a fantastic spot to have some of your engagement or wedding pictures taken.

This dress came from the closet in Covet (the borrower's boudoir) - it's by Fendi. I wish I had Deirdre's petite frame, she looks stunning and John is one handsome man!

I have a complete obsession with the 20s and 30s and this is like a little mirror back in time. Very seriously considering a similar look for our engagement photos. Deirdre is in yet another gorgeous designer dress loaned by Covet, this time from Gianfranco Ferre. Aisling's handmade hair jewellery (well you couldn't call a piece of art like that a hairband, could you?) compliments it fabulously.

This is just a small sample of the stunning pictures - pop onto Stephanie's website to see the rest...
